This is why I prefer to look at things tangible instead of buying on line.

To my thinking with tents, you always need to subtract 1 from the description. 2 man tent meas one will fit with a little gear, 3 man equals two at a squeeze.

I knew that, but was deceived by the internal dimensions which we marked out on the kitchen floor, and some positive on-line reviews and videos   Space is lost due to the inward slope of the walls.

With just four week to go before my departure, all necessary preparations are completed, and I'm getting a bit excited.   A number of “Shed, Bed & Fed” offers have been made and accepted where they fit with my travel plans, and for those I am most appreciative.   I also look forward to catching up with others at several RTE's that have been planned to coincide with my travels.

You can follow my journey of my Spot Link which is https://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0qDgXQYACM1Niq6Lv0UrbR6NtxisuFFRM

I've also moved to a phone carrier which will give me the best coverage possible while I'm away.    Therefore you won't be able to get me on my old number, ending  “…. 339”.    If you would like my new number, which some have already and which ends “......068”,  send me a PM and I'll reply with  the number.   Text messages might be the best way to make initial contact me, as I don't have my phone linked to my helmet coms.

 :thumbsup My Departure Date is the 14th March, leaving home with mates Fish and Marcelo
 :thumbsup My itinerary is at the top of ths thread.

I'm off tomorrow morning and look forward to catching up with quite a few OzSTOC members, either at the RTE's that have been arranged around my trip, with those with whom I am staying at various locations, and with those that I'll see on the road.

Townsville offer:

HOT or cold Shower
clean flushing loo
cold water/beer or hot coffee/tea.
......... also if needed a place to sleep in a BED in private room.

My number is in the RAN if there are ANY troubles around the Mackay North / Ingham South / Charters Towers East locations.

I have a trailer if all else fails if you have troubles in those areas.

Thanks Spanner.   Townsville is not a scheduled stopover and I'll keepit in mind, but it's good to know that some support is nearby if the SHTF  :thumbs
